Watch, learn and play with the pros at Juggle This!. Upgrade your three-ball game with workshops on backcrossing and Bramson rolls. The weekend starts out with morning yoga and other workshops on club-tossing, hoop-rolling, yo-yos and lassos. Stick around for the evening spectacular and after-party renegade show. Juggle This! is a festival that I organize. I needed to built a website that would create trust between the festival and locals for them to realize this is a real event. It’s not easy to sell juggling! Here is a responsive website that features a user friendly, modern design where a user can find what they need, and buy tickets. About 40% of ticket sales happen through the website.

Columbia Global

close

Another MSDS production. This website was quite challenging because of the sheer size of it. Columbia Global provides a great deal of information. The senior designer at MSDS, did a great job of organizing and designing content to be easily read, without overwhelming the user. This couldn’t have been done without assistance from my co-workers. The website is still in beta.

Yale – Environmental Performance Index

close

Another MSDS production. This website was a lot of fun to work on. The Environmental Performance Index has a lot of information that the senior designer at MSDS did a great job or integrating into the design. There are a lot of really fun data visualization tools to help make the information easier to digest. This was a lot of fun to code up. The smooth animations, and the interactive charts. This couldn’t have been done without assistance from my co-workers.

Pratt Center

close

Mathew Schwartz Design Studio was privileged to work with the great people at Pratt Center for Community Development. The studio aided them in a branding and website redesign to help the greater good. I was happy to code up the site because I support what Pratt Center does.

ENE | ClimateVision 2020

close

Designed by the team at Matthew Schwartz Design Studio. ENE came with a lot of content which posed many challenges for the designers and us, the developers. The content needed be to be shown in an interesting matter that directed the user across the site, page by page. The designer did a fantastic job with that and in doing so created a challenge for me. Coding the CSS and jQuery for ENE Climate Vision was no easy task, but in the end I conquered. You wouldn’t think this, but the color coding was the trickiest and most satisfying part. Don’t forget to check the site on mobile too!

Aquion Energy

close

Aquion Energy, changing energy storage for the better. The designers and backend developers at Matthew Schwartz Design Studio were responsible for branding and the site redesign. Being the front-end developer there, I was responsible for connecting the back to the front. Bringing the design in photoshop alive. This was a fun site to code up. The alternating sidebar colors and the tricky main menu. I might be biased, but I think it came out great.

Tostan

close

Created at Matthew Schwartz Design Studio. Tostan is a non-profit based in Africa. They came to MSDS to get thier mission across to the masses in a well designed website. Taking their brand to the next level. This was one of the larger sites that I have done the front-end development for. There are many details across the site that had to be carried between platforms. It took a while, but it looks just as good on mobile, as it does on a desktop.

Columbia | SIPA

close

Designed by Code and Theory and developed by the team at Matthew Schwartz Design Studio. MSDS was responsible for finishing an incomplete website for the School of Political Affairs at Columbia University. The delivered wireframes and design comps were incomplete and they trusted MSDS to get it done right. This was a fun site to style. At least in my eyes it was a unique design that consisted of pretty cool elements and interactions.

Catalyst

close

Catalyst is a non-profit that increases opportunities for women in the workplace. They went to Matthew Schwartz Design Studio to help create a larger web presence to make a great impact. It was a fun challenge, also my first big jump into mobile.

Institute for Industrial Productivity

close

This was the first site I did the front-end for Matthew Schwartz Design Studio. Nothing like starting on one huge bilingual website! MSDS was hired to rebrand IIP which included a new and improved identity, and a new website that was capable of being used for their english and Chinese speaking demographic. With the redesign, it’s now much easier for IIP to get their message out to the masses.

EVE

close

EVE is a grammy award winning rapper. She needed a new and improved website to showcase herself, music, and latest news that would intrigue users to click around. I teamed up with Peter Rodriguez for this project. Between the two of us, we came up with an exciting design that interacts with the user. This new design features a single page experience which now provides all the latest news related to EVE. We wanted this website to be the hub, so all her fans would know to come to the site instead of facebook, twitter, instagram, reverbnaiton, etc to find whatever information they wanted. My roll in this project was managing, creative input, and development.

Cabaret Émigré

close

Poster design for the Off-Broadway show, “Cabaret Émigré.” It was hung up outside the famous Lion Theatre in New York City for the run of the show. It was quite exciting to see it along theatre row for thousands of New Yorkers to see. Just if I had my name on it…

JuggleSam

close

JuggleSam. The ultimate skill toy super store. Carrying all sorts of fun toys to keep kids to adults busy. I designed the site with many thoughts in mind. I wanted the site to intrigue the user to keep clicking. The more activity within the site the better! More stuff to keep the user interested. The site is also easy to navigate. Users will be able to find what they want with minimal clicks. Not only are you providing the user with product information, you are helping them think different by suggesting ideas and providing them with an inside scoop (the blog). This provides more reasons for the user to come to the site.

close

The ultimate go-to guide for cheap stuff to do in New York City. CheapNYC is a company and concept started by my friend Ray. I teamed up with him to bring it to life. Bringing in my design sense, ideas, and marketing concepts, we built this into quite the adventure. I did all the branding and site design. Ray did the backend development and we both put our minds together to create the great content. Within in the first month, a video Ray produced made it to TV. Thanks TimeOut New York…

Juggling Fashion

close

This is a t-shirt company I have started. I designed everything from the logo to the t-shirts. Shirts are sold all over the world.

Jugglers everywhere motivated me to produce these shirts. I think most t-shirts are pretty dull and boring, and a new, cool and trendy styled shirt was needed for the younger generation jugglers. Something needed to happen, and I was the man for the job! Not only do I sell cool designs, I sell high quality shirts. I spend the extra money for the extra quality. I don’t like cheap, rough shirts, so why would I sell them?
